This story feels like it would have been better of as a Novella. My biggest point of praise is how Zahn writes Anakin and Padme. I felt it lined up incredibly well with how they were portrayed in The Clone Wars, and felt this could easily have fit in as a 2 or 3 episode arc. But that comes to the core of the issue I have which is that there's nothing that interesting. This comes from a lack of a sense of dread or urgency. We're told the conflict is important, but I never felt that way as a reader. If you enjoy Anakin and Thrawn, you'll like this. But it's not a must-read Star Wars novel.

I was planning on taking a break after the first Thrawn, but decided to start the 2nd one just to get a taste... once I saw it was a Vader + Thrawn book I couldn't put it down! Shit was crazy. First one was better comparatively, but this one was still super good. The new Tie fighters were literally PROPOSED in the new Tales of the Empire series that was released less than a week ago so that was cool seeing that the Empire actually did end up using them. Ugh I guess I gotta read the 3rd one now, and I think the newer Thrawn trilogy takes place before this trilogy?? So much mystery around the Chiss that I'm dying to hear about how Thrawn became Thrawn b4 the Empire. The dual Thrawn + Anakin and Thrawn + Vader was super interesting. I like Thrawn?? am i supposed to??? idk we'll see what he does in book 3. treason.........

Not as enticing as the first book. I now find Anakin/Darth Vader more annoying, and Iām sad that Eli was not in this book.

Not enough Thrawn in the story. He seemed to be a secondary character at times.
